2017-11-05 Description of Enneagram and Slides for Week 1 and 2

“Self-knowledge is tied with inner work, which is both demanding and painful.
Change occurs amid birth pangs. It takes courage to walk such a path. Many
avoid the path of self-knowledge because they are afraid of being swallowed up
in their own abysses. But Christians have confidence that Christ has lived
through all the abysses of human life and that he goes with us when we dare to
engage in such confrontation with ourselves.” -Andreas Ebert

Richard Rohr brings a Christian Perspective to the Enneagram, an ancient personality system.
Rohr explains how Christians can benefit from it without adopting non-Christian ideas. Rohr
identifies the root sin of each type, and how God can redeem that sin into a beautiful gift. He
believes the enneagram is a “tool for discernment and a gift of the Spirit which can help transform
lives, lead people to God and release the great giftedness in us.”

Welcome to Crosscreek

“A church where everyone is welcome” is more than just a slogan at Crosscreek, it is our identity.

For most of the congregation’s thirty year history, it has been racially diverse and practiced gender equality in leadership. The openness to diversity and generosity of heart displayed by these choices has become a willingness to embrace all who worship with us, no matter their struggles or depth of faith.

At Crosscreek people are valued no matter their age or ability. Children, youth, and adults share worship leadership roles each week. We offer age appropriate programming for children that includes booster seats and activity bags for worship. Youth are offered faith-formative fellowship and Bible study. Adults of all ages find encouragement for faith through worship and Sunday School classes.
